How to Change Battery in 2020 Jeep Gladiator Key Fob

If you own a 2020 Jeep Gladiator, you know that the key fob is essential for locking and unlocking your vehicle, as well as starting the engine. Like any electronic device, your key fob relies on a battery to function correctly. Over time, this battery will eventually lose its charge and need to be replaced. Don’t worry; changing the battery in your 2020 Jeep Gladiator key fob is a simple task that you can do yourself in a few minutes with just a few tools.

Identifying a Low Key Fob Battery in Your Jeep Gladiator

Before you go searching for a new battery, it’s essential to make sure that your key fob battery is the culprit. Several signs indicate a low key fob battery, including:

• Decreased Signal Range: You may notice that you have to stand closer to your Gladiator for the key fob to lock or unlock the doors.
• Intermittent Functionality: The key fob may work sometimes but not others.
• Dim Key Fob Light: The LED light on your key fob may appear dimmer than usual.
• Warning Message: Your Gladiator’s dashboard may display a warning message, such as “Key Fob Battery Low.”

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s highly likely that your key fob battery is low and needs to be replaced.

What Type of Battery Does a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Key Fob Use?

The 2020 Jeep Gladiator key fob requires a CR2032 3V lithium battery, a common type of battery found at most convenience stores, electronics retailers, and auto parts stores.

Tools You’ll Need to Change Your Jeep Gladiator Key Fob Battery

The good news is that you won’t need any fancy tools to replace the battery in your Jeep Gladiator’s key fob. Here’s all you need:

• A small flat-head screwdriver
• A new CR2032 battery

Steps to Replace Your 2020 Jeep Gladiator Key Fob Battery

Now that you have your new battery and screwdriver, follow these easy steps:

1. Locate the Slot: On the back of your Jeep Gladiator key fob, you will find a small slot. This slot is designed to help you separate the two halves of the key fob casing.

2. Separate the Key Fob Casing: Carefully insert the flat-head screwdriver into the slot and gently pry open the key fob. You may hear a slight click as the two halves separate.

3. Remove the Old Battery: Once the key fob is open, you’ll see the CR2032 battery nestled inside. Gently remove the old battery. Avoid touching the battery contacts as much as possible.

4. Install the New Battery: Place the new CR2032 battery into the key fob, making sure the positive (+) side faces up, the same way the old battery was positioned.

5. Reassemble the Key Fob: Align the two halves of the key fob and press them firmly together until you hear a click, indicating the casing is securely closed.

6. Test Your Key Fob: Try locking and unlocking your Gladiator’s doors using the key fob to ensure the new battery is working correctly.

If your key fob is still not working correctly after replacing the battery, there might be another issue. In this case, it’s best to consult a professional automotive locksmith or your Jeep dealership.

Prolonging the Life of Your Jeep Gladiator Key Fob Battery

Here are a few tips to help extend the life of your key fob battery:

• Avoid Frequent Drops: While the key fob is designed to withstand everyday use, repeatedly dropping it can damage the battery and other internal components, potentially shortening the battery life.

• Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can affect the performance and lifespan of batteries, including your key fob battery.

• Use a Protective Case: Consider using a protective case for your key fob. This can help cushion the impact if dropped and provide an extra layer of protection.
